COZIER-DUBERRY'S VOLLEY SAVED
Cozier-Duberry goes close to a fourth for Albion as a quick corner routine sees Moran's pull-back flick up and fall for the former Arsenal man, but his left-footed volley lacks the sting it needs to beat Conde and the keeper is able to dive on it.

Another change for Albion as Amario Cozier-Duberry replaces Yankuba Minteh.
78'
Substitution
James Milner is replaced by Andrew Moran.

Goal
MINTEH!!! Baleba crosses in from the left, Welbeck flicks it up, Mitoma takes a touch and shoots but it's blocked, but Minteh is there to finish off the move as he rolls it into the bottom corner for his third goal of pre-season! Albion now 3-0 up.
62'
Substitution
TRIPLE ALBION CHANGE: Wieffer, Veltman and Barco are replaced by Hinshelwood, Baleba and Ayari.
56'
CONDE DENIES MITOMA
Barco plays an excellent pass in behind for Mitoma to run onto. The Japan international has to get his shot away from a tight angle and it's straight at Conde, Bailly nearly runs the ball into his own net as he gets back to defend, but fortunately for the former Manchester United defender, it rebounds straight into his keeper's hands.
54'
CONDE WITH A VITAL TOUCH
Welbeck rolls it to Sarmiento on the edge of the Villarreal box, the Ecuador international takes a touch and then tries to bend it into the bottom right corner, but the keeper dives across and gets fingertips on it to put it behind for a corner.
50'
BARCO'S FREE-KICK PUNCHED CLEAR
Valentin Barco's set-piece delivery is awesome. Mitoma is fouled on the left, the Argentinian takes the resulting free-kick and it's only brave goalkeeping from Conde to punch it clear that stops Webster from meeting it.

EXCELLENT PIECE OF DEFENDING BY BARCO
Villarreal have a decent spell and they appear to have found an in as they cross it from the left to right towards the back-post, but Barco reads it and gets down low to chest it back to Steele.
A top strike from Joao Pedro to put us in front.
20'
MINETH AND MITOMA COMBINE
Another great opportunity for Albion. Minteh gets the better of Cardona at full-back, gets to the byline and chips it into the box for Mitoma to head, but the Japanese winger nods it straight into the hands of Conde!
17'
GOAL LIFTS ALBION
That's close to a second for Albion. It's only a last ditch effort from goalkeeper Conde to get in the way of Welbeck's effort before the visitors clear away.

João Pedro Junqueira de Jesus
JOAO PEDRO!!! What a lovely finish from the Brazilian. Mitoma tees up the striker on the edge of the box and he rifles it into the top left corner.
10'
VAN HECKE STOPS DANGEROUS ATTACK
That's a good ball in from the left from Suarez looking for Danjuma in the middle, but van Hecke stretches to poke it behind for a corner.

VILLARREAL GET INTO THE ALBION BOX
Terrats gets into the box and pulls it back for a teammate, but Veltman intercepts to get it away and is then fouled. Albion opened up twice in these early exchanges.

UNDERWAY
1: Albion get the game underway and it's an electric start for both teams. Danjuma hits the post from Suarez's ball through before Minteh heads wide from a great position down the other end. Both teams will be frustrated with the way they gave away chances there.
Lewis Dunk makes his first start of pre-season having had an extended break following his participation in the Euros.
